Frankenstein Lovers Unite!!

Although I have not actually played this game yet, from what I have heard it is a very wierd, but fun, game. It's basically a re-run of Frankenstein. Your this looney-tuney scientist named Rex Chance, and you must use your resources(gas, coal, DNA, etc.) to create bio-genetically engineered freaks of nature and then make them kill each other. For example, I am thinking of creating a lion with the jaws of a crocodile and the tail of a scorpion. This may sound like a boring game if you are in to action/adventure's and stuff like that, but trust me on this. This game is worth a peek, if you have bit of mad scientist in you.

Crazy...

From what I have seen and heard about this game. I think it's going to be awesome. You can combine the attributes of two animals from a selection of 50 different ones and use them any way you want. (No not like that, you sicko!) You want a unit that can burrow underground to hide, pop up, poison an enemy then go back underground? You got it! Just put a scorpion's tail on a lemming's body! Flying sharks? Why not?! I think this game is going to VERY fun.

This game is one of the most graphically stunning games i have seen in a while. Combining one animal with another( only two, no more). You can have a Rhino with Cheetah legs, A whale with bat wings and invincible army of mutations. You are Rex Chance and u are set after your long lost father after receiveing a letter from him, only to find that he has created some technology called sigma that combines animal dna. It has fallen into the hands of Upton Julius and Rex just escapes thanx to a quick rescue. Thats where the game starts. The gameplay is awesome, u have in game zoom, a lot of the game focuses around the combining process of your creatures, so u have plenty of time for fine tuning. You are able to select maybe a special ability u want and the computer will fix it so u get the parts you need. If u want some information or anything about Impossible creatures, go to ...and check out the forums, just ask and anyone including myself will be willing to answer any question. Oh and once again, this game ROCKS!

Preview- Creativity Indeed

I think this is going to be some incredible game.
This game is a 3D RTS game made by Relic. And the best part of the game is that you can combine animal DNA and make some mutant animals. And the number of the unit is limited by player's creativity. And what I like about this game is that it's not some boring old RTS. usually in RTS the things you do is build strutures, mine resources, build units and other stuff, and to win you just need to use your hands faster and build lots of units and destroy other peoples bases. Well this game does not work that way, the units have relations like rock,scissors,papers so one unit can easily konck some units but can be knocked out easily by other units. So you need to be stragical and place and build units carefully, so you get to use your brains more than your hands.
Oh, and this game has some Homeworld's blood in it so if you played homeworld you might find it simliar. This is a game I recommend for RTS lovers.

best out of everything

I think this this game is cool because Iknow what it is like. I got the demo of it in a magazine. It,s the best thing that has ever happened to me ever since. Even my sister,Kerry, plays the game; she's only 8! Now don't you think that's impressive- play the game and tell me if it's still impressive. So if I were you I would pre-order it before it comes out.

P.S. But if I were you I wouldn't worry about it, 'cause I would have it already pre-ordered it.

A truly fun RTS? Impossible! Yes, Impossible Creatures!

I've spent quite a bit of time with the demo and I'm adding this game to my Christmas Wish List. Over the years, I've tried a number of different RTS games and, frankly, the notion of "gathering resources & building structures" faster than the AI or your on-line opponent just never hooked me. In Impossible Creatures, Relic Entertainment has introduced the concept of player-designed units to the RTS genre, opening a whole new challenge for the player: Zebra+Ox or Zebra+Leopard? Not to mention an intruiging storyline involving our protagonist's long-lost father.

Mission objectives go well beyond the "Destroy Enemy Base" type of play, including collecting DNA from different animals to add to your unit creations, protecting innocent bystanders, discovering new technologies. And all within the first couple of missions.

Graphically speaking, this game is above par, providing a full 3D world for the player to interact with and manipulate. The camera can be positioned, rotated and zoomed to just about anywhere. Perfect for when you want to watch closely as your Coyopine makes mincemeat of the enemy. The animation is top-notch, as are the special effects and textures.

The sounds are also well done, though I do find some of the repeated alerts annoying: The creatures are under attack! Yes, I know that, I put them there to draw the enemy in! Oh well.

I've finally found an RTS I *want* to play! So come on, let's see what kind of creatures you can make!

Very innovative Game!

I downloaded the demo of this RTS-Game and I must say, it's one of the most exciting and innovative games of the RTS-genre I've seen. The story about the lost father of the main character is not like the epic story Warcraft 3 is based on, but none the less it's very interesting.
But the really interesting aspect of "Impossible Creatures" is the possibility to create an army by mixing the DNA of 50 different creatures (Shobsters for example: a mix of sharks and lobsters). The possibilities of combinations are nearly endless. In Multiplayer you will never meet the same type of army in different games because every player has his own unique army of combined creatures.
Everybody, who's interested in RTS-Games and who wants to play something different than the typical standard-RTS, should order this game.

As a beta tester for the game I can guarantee that you will NOT regret purchasing this title. Relic has a great reputation going with the Homeworld series and they do not disappoint with this winner. Grab the demo [...]. If you want even more info, stop by [...]and take a look around.

Impossible Creatures is the best game in the world!

This is truly the best game in the entire world. It alows the player to use his/her imagination with no limits! I tried the trial version and I can't wait to buy the actual game. It is a very challenging game. I thank the creators of this game. ALL YOU PEOPLE OUT THERE, IF YOU BUY THIS GAME, YOU WON'T REGRET IT!(especially to those parents who think that this game is to violent or not good for little kids)

Four and a half stars actually.

This is, by far, one of the most creative games out there. It is also an excellent game as far as I can see with the demo. However, a game must be superb, extend beyond all expectations, and step into new realms from all angles in order to achieve a five star rating. Too many people toss around five stars when five should be reserved for the best of the best of the best. Just my humble opinion.
